Abyss invasion, I have a legendary Taoist profession

Chapter 22 Shrinkage
As he drank bottle after bottle of magic potion, Wang Ping'an could no longer see any trace of black on his hands.

To be safe, he cast a few more healing spells on himself until all the magic potions were used up: "This should completely clear it up!"

Wang Ping'an looked at his right hand and felt his consciousness return.

I squeezed it twice with force and didn't feel any numbness at all.

He didn't expect that the virus infection was so hidden. He didn't even notice it and didn't feel any pain. If it had been a little later, by the time the virus entered his brain, he would have been completely hopeless.

After collapsing on the ground for half an hour, Wang Ping'an finally had time to look at the task prompt.

Tip: Complete kill mission six and get a C-level kill rating and 100 points.

"Why is the reward so much less?" Looking at the reward in front of me, it is different from what was mentioned in the task.

The reward for kill mission six was supposed to be an A-level kill rating and 1,000 points, but now it's been reduced tenfold: "Could it be that because this brain corpse was just born, the reward was reduced?"

Wang Ping'an could only think of this possibility, otherwise it would not make sense. It couldn't be that the Abyss Mall was deliberately targeting him.

Looking at the kill evaluation in front of him sadly, he didn't care about the reduction in points, but the fact that the kill evaluation was reduced from A to C made him very sad. At least he should have been given a B evaluation.

With a B-level rating, he can collect 10,000 points to purchase storage space, which will make it much easier for him to enter the abyss world, and it will also be equally convenient in reality.

Using points to buy things from the Abyss Mall is still a bit of a luxury.

After those people left, he had been eating roasted chicken for the past few days, and he had begun to feel a little disgusted with this kind of chicken.

He had originally wanted to cook the chicken in a few different ways, but only roasted chicken could fit into his backpack, so he could only put thirty roasted chickens in his backpack.

Wang Ping'an looked at the luxurious meals in the Abyss Mall, thinking that since he had already dealt with the brain corpse, he should indeed reward himself.

Forget about the basic meal. Although it is very cheap and only requires one point, the portion is large and he won’t be able to finish it even if he buys it, so it will be a huge waste.

The deluxe meal was just the opposite. Although the quantity was small, it was definitely enough for several people. He couldn't help swallowing when he looked at the ingredients inside.

The price is a bit shocking. One serving requires ten points, which is equivalent to completing a killing mission to get it.

If Wang Ping'an had not just killed the brain corpse, he would definitely not buy such a meal. The frugality in the Chinese people's bones prevented him from spending like this.

Wang Ping'an found the zombie crystal core in the brain corpse's head and quickly left the smoking room. It was impossible for him to eat here.

Although there is a smell inside the factory, it is not as strong as here and is more bearable outside.

"Damn, the brain corpse's crystal core is only ten mall coins. Did the mall take a kickback?"

Wang Ping'an had no way of seeking information about this matter. This was a buyer's market, and even if he was given a kickback, he had no choice but to accept it.

Thinking that such a powerful brain corpse was worth the same as an ordinary zombie, he felt a little sorry for it.

Although the experience points given are more than those of ordinary zombies, it is not that high, only 100 experience points. He would rather kill five ordinary zombies than fight against the brain zombies.

After finishing the luxurious meal, Wang Ping'an now had nothing to do.

The threat of the brain corpse has been eliminated, but he has no mall coins left. He does have two packets of poison in his backpack, and his magic value has now been fully restored.

But he didn't intend to kill the wandering zombies. He needed to use this mana at a critical moment, in case of an emergency. Although the factory was blocked everywhere and no zombies would run in, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Two days passed quickly while Wang Ping'an was doing nothing. He missed Zhang Jiangqiao, Tian Lei and the others very much. Without them, the machine at the stairs could not be moved at all, and he could not dig crystal cores, let alone obtain mall coins.

Although he had killed some wandering zombies in the past two days with the help of his automatically recovered magic points, it was nothing compared to the beginning.

Ten days passed in a flash, and he was still thinking of getting the 19th level mall coins this month, but now it seems impossible to accomplish this task.

Even if he completed more than a hundred tasks and could stay in the abyss world for more than a hundred days, it would be useless. There were no zombies for him to kill, and staying here would only be a waste of points.

……

"Why are all the zombies here dead?"

Zhang Jiangqiao and his group returned to the original factory and found zombie corpses lying everywhere.

"I don't know. We haven't heard any movement outside these days."

Everyone followed Zhang Jiangqiao and ran back. Some people really didn't want to come back, but most people had to leave, and it was not a solution for a small number of them to stay in the new factory.

Since we can't complete the killing mission there, we might as well come out and fight. With so many people, it's impossible for them to die just like that.

But what they didn't expect was that the return was surprisingly smooth. They didn't encounter many zombies on the second half of the journey. This also made them glad that they came back with the main group and there were no deaths on the road.

"What do you think? Could it be that a brain corpse emerged from its blood cocoon and indiscriminately killed these zombies? Only a brain corpse could do that here."

"It's possible. I didn't expect Li Xiaoming to actually break through the blood cocoon. He actually kept his promise so well."

Everyone observed a second of silence for Li Xiaoming. Judging from the situation here, he should be dead.

So much information shows how powerful the brain corpse is. Even if Li Xiaoming completed more than a hundred tasks, he would not be able to escape from the brain corpse.

What puzzled them was that after the brain corpse's blood cocoon was broken, wouldn't it start killing everyone? How come they were not found and killed by the brain corpse even though they were five hundred meters away?

From the information they had read before, brain corpses always behaved like this, and would not stop killing until their life naturally disappeared, but this time it was an exception.

They felt that there was only one explanation for this, that is, the brain corpse had just been born and its vitality was not strong. After the blood cocoon was broken, there was little life left.

After killing the zombies around them, their lives also came to an end, allowing them to escape.

Everyone thought of this question, and their morale instantly rose.

Not only did I not die when I encountered a brain corpse, I saved my life, and I can now complete the killing mission with peace of mind in the future. There are actually such good things in the world.

"Let's go home!"

Everyone entered the factory with joy on their faces, only to find countless zombies gathered at the factory stairs, which was like being poured a bucket of cold water on them.

How did these zombies get here? How can they go back?
